Yes, I started this work and was hoping there would be more interest out there. If you look at the apache_hooks CVS branch you will see the code needed to register a PHP script to handle the url translation request stage. Each of the other stages would be implemented the same way. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
